Finally managed to neaten up the wires and run the power wire to the alternator.

I need to get anchors for the front wires. Doctor has me on glucosamine so my hands are not hurting as much.

New measurements with the power cable to the alternator replaced:

Test Before. After. Today

Battery. 12.38. 12.69. 13.72

Alternator. 13.61. 13.44. .......

Dist block. 13.18. 13.20 13.38

Got the mid ranges in finally

Cut inserts from polypropelene plastic(?)

Then mounted mids

Got both ready for install

and installed them in the heat ducts. (dont drive it in cold weather)

I will take the factory vent trim ring and wrap it in black speaker cloth.

you arent worried about the flimsyness of the plastic the mid is mounted in... faily large amounts of energy @400hz...just wondering //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

edit^^^^^ not flimsiness of the plastic but rather it not being mounted securely.

It is mounted from behind it isVERY secure. But I do thank you for the concern, and it is a valid concern based on what you see.

I also bench tested the mid's far harder than I will play them at for vibration .

Got the drivers side door on with rivets, need to paint them black next.

I used long neck rivets

Even without sound processing, just using the amp, the 3 ways sound AMAZING!!!!!

nice work. I see your using a circuit breaker.. if thats for your audio power i would advise against it, they dont break contact fast enough in such applications

It's not for protection, the stereo is fused another place. it is for quick disconnect so the dealership doesn't accidentally start it with volume on or mess with it.

It doesn't matter a whole lot anyway car is being sold with system to pay for the rims and stereo of my new car a 2013 Cadillac SRX.
